Mistakes and Laughs

Man do I make them, and sometimes I just feel like one. You know?...That feeling that you are the mistake? If you are familiar keep reading the funny part is coming.

I feel that way with my field placement these last few weeks. I am still floating trying to understand where I fit in to this self-directed position with the Skillman Good Neighborhoodhoods Initiative. I love the placement, but I wonder am I the wrong person for this job? Or am I the right person at the wrong time? I don't know. How long do I wait? What am I supposed to say? I don't want to take my supervisors away from their work. I feel like an ignorant nuisance.

For laughs and embarassment:
Today I made a stupid mistake. I was sending minutes from a meeting to my head supervisor, and in the title I wrote hey! The computer recognized that I had a history of writing "hey momma" to my mom and changed the title of my email to my supervisor to read "hey momma". I sent the email unaware of the lurking disaster. When she replied, I realized my error, and I am still laughing with a red face. I am full of mistakes.
